Biography: With some independent experience under his belt, Shino Hiriyama joined Iwate-based Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON early into his career. Hiriyama excelled as a tag wrestler; primarily as the "GLAMOUR PUNKS" with Katsumi Gakusha. He'd leave with Gakusha following his exit from CRIMSON in 2007, where the two would end up in Kanagawa's IFS: FREEDOM promotion. While Gakusha broke off as a singles star, Shino continued in the tag ranks; this time forming a strong team with Kazuhiro Okumura that would continue into FREEDOM's transformation into Pro-Wrestling DYNAMITE. Shino's biggest credit would come in 2008, as he led the DYNAMITE team to an inter-promotional tournament victory in winning the BATTLE FUSION Trifecta Cup.

Hiriyama would find himself returning to CRIMSON in December of 2008 to form the new age terrorist unit "LOVE," bringing with him Kazuhiro Okumura. LOVE would find some success. Unfortunately, due to the devastating economic circumstances, CRIMSON would be forced to close its doors, leaving Hiriyama without a home. Banding together with his old friend Katsumi Gakusha, along with crafty veteran Seiji Ebisawa, Hiriyama joined SPIRIT International as they entered KJPW's gates.
